Black Bear Downtown
Only adults (25 years old and older) may reserve this property and an adult must occupy the property at all times.
No need to walk to town ... you're in town! One of a kind, magnificent, handcrafted log home on Mill Creek one block from the center of downtown Highlands.
Where else can you be "in town" yet nestled in the trees next to a rushing creek? This beautiful home has the rustic charm of a log home with all of the modern amenities guests have come to expect in luxury mountain retreats. This three level home provides maximum privacy for family gatherings, friends vacationing together or an escape getaway for two. There is a full bath on every level.
As soon as you pull up, you'll notice how guest-friendly this home is. A circular drive (large enough for a motor coach) makes parking a breeze and a ramp to the front door ensures that the home is accessible for everyone. The main floor features an open floor plan with floor to ceiling windows for people watching or lower the privacy shades to create a cozy space for entertaining and relaxing in front of the stone gas log fireplace. The main level bedroom suite with a king bed and master bath invites you to relax in the claw foot Jacuzzi tub or on the private deck overlooking beautiful Mill Creek. The cook in your crew will love creating memorable meals in the gourmet kitchen with a gas range and plenty of seating either at the massive island or the adjacent dining room table.
The lower level features a large seating area for movie nights, a table that seats six and beautiful views including a walk out to a patio with a gas fire pit overlooking Mill Creek with all of the relaxing sounds of the rushing water so you can enjoy nature at its finest. There is also a queen bed, bunk beds and laundry room.
Upstairs in the "Gathering Place" awaits an expansive great room complete with a bar and a huge wall of fixed glass windows overlooking shops and restaurants where you can relax in comfort and watch all of the activity, or the big screen TV. There are two more bedrooms, each with a queen bed and views of Mill Creek. You'll have no problem drifting off to sleep to the sounds of rushing water.
You can't beat this location for convenience and mountain ambiance. Referred to by many as the Aspen of the east due to its many fine dining restaurants and world class shopping, you're just a short stroll from everything that makes Highlands a unique and memorable vacation destination. Call our team at Rent In Highlands today to plan your next memorable trip to Highlands at Black Bear Downtown.
What our guests are saying...
"The Best So Far! Well on our 10th consecutive year renting homes in and around Highlands we have finally found our forever rental. For the last 10 years we have visited Highlands on this same weekend to celebrate birthdays and gather with family. Six adults and four growing kids make the trek from various parts of SC to enjoy all Highlands has to offer. We have stayed off the grid, close to town and in town, but, if the owners will have us, we will never stay anywhere again but here! This house is located a block from Main Street and just down from the Highlands Park. It sits on the banks of the creek and has an outdoor patio thats perfect for a cocktail or hot chocolate. Theres a bunk room for the kids and a bedroom for each couple with separate gathering areas so the kids can be kids and the adults can have a space as well. It really is a great spot! Cant wait to get back." - Jon

Very great experience! From the moment we walked in it was a great place! We truly enjoyed ourselves. We had a coupled get away and we literally loved everything about the home. It was equipped with everything we needed to prepare our food. It was a pleasure we plan to return in the summer. The town does shut down really early in winter and that wasnt too bad.

We loved it! Property was great. House was so pretty! Fully equipped with everything we needed. Plenty of towels. Kitchen had nice extras like ziplock bags and Saran Wrap and laundry detergent and coffee pods. Loved having the Keurig there. Beds were comfortable. Plenty of room. Outdoor fire pit was awesome. Tv had Hulu, Netflix etc. We have no complaints. Would definitely recommend black bear to others and would love to stay here again!

We really enjoyed our experience at the lodge. Its close enough to walk into town, but just far enough away from the crowded main street. We loved the fire pit over the creek, the nearby hiking loop, and the access to the falls. The home feels brand new, and well planned out- ie gas fire pits and coffee makers. We hope to stay here again!

5 Stars! Location, Location, Location!!!!! Fabulous home in the middle of everything!!!! It was perfect for a family birthday trip. We were able to walk to all restaurants and shopping plus close to many of the hiking trails. Although in a busy area of Highlands, the river noise to the back of the house adds the feel of being in the mountains. It appears the house was once used commercially which adds the convenience of a generous parking area. We are booking again!
